Ingredients
  

  • cup sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoon matcha

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, whisk sugar and egg yolks until pale yellow. Stir in milk.
  • Heat the mixture on low heat stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 170˚F.
  • Whisk the matcha and heavy cream into the custard mixture. Pour it through a fine mesh sieve and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Add the mixture to an ice cream machine and churn for 20-30 minutes until it reaches a soft serve consistency.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer safe container and freeze for a minimum of 2 hours.

Notes

  • Freeze the ice cream bowl for 24 hours.
  • Makes 1 quart of ice cream.
  • There will still be chunks of matcha that are not dissolved. Once the mixture churns in the ice cream maker, the matcha will be smooth and incorporated.
